Tyre pressures which are too high or too
●
low reduce the useful life of the tyre, affect-
ing vehicle performance.
If a tyre has not been punctured and it
●
does not have to be changed immediately,
drive to the nearest specialised workshop
at a moderate speed and have the tyre
checked and inflated to the correct pres-
sure.
WARNING
Observe the safety warnings
trol and warning lamps on page
Note
If excessively low tyre pressure is detec-
●
ted with the ignition on, an audible warning
will sound. In the event that there is a fault
in the system, an audible warning will
sound.
Driving on dirt tracks for a long period of

time or driving in a sporty style can tempo-

Tyre structure is damaged

The vehicle is unbalanced because of a

load
The wheels on an axle are subject to a

There may be a delay in the reaction of the
tyre monitoring indicator or it may not indi-

cate anything under certain circumstances
(e.g. sporty driving, snow-covered or un-
paved roads, or when driving with snow
chains).
Calibrating the tyre monitoring in-
dicator
After changing the tyre pressure or replacing
one or more wheels, the tyre monitoring indi-
cator must be recalibrated. Do the same, for
example, when the front and rear wheels are
swapped.
Switch the ignition on.
